Shaila Dúrcal (44) began her musical tour on Saturday in the Californian city of Glendale that will take her for more than a month through the United States and Mexico, where she is a very beloved artist, as was her mother, Rocío Dúrcal, with whom she It bears a great physical resemblance.
5 years ago, one of his dogs bit off part of his finger while trying to separate him from a fight. That accident was a turning point in his life. He left Houston (Texas), where he lived, and returned to Madrid to be close to his brothers: "I needed them," he says. At the beginning of this summer he also decided to adopt healthier habits: “The changing life of artists does not help, with travel and time changes and we are always judged by our physique. I like to eat and even the air makes me fat. I have always had excess kilos that prevented me from breathing well. Since I was little I have scoliosis and I finish the shows with back pain”, the singer explains to this newspaper.
The first thing she did was quit smoking, then put herself in the hands of the Pronokal medical team and have the support of her sister Carmen Morales (52), who also wanted healthier routines: “With premenopause I began to notice physical changes,” she says. the eldest daughter of the remembered Rocío Dúrcal and Junior–, so we decided to start the process of losing weight and changing habits together.” They confess that they have had the medical and emotional support of Pronokal, but doing it together has been part of their success, “because I supported her and she supported me,” explains Carmen. “And also, we both understood what was happening to us,” Shaila points out. Thus, she has lost 20 kilos and Carmen, 15.
For Shaila, the relationship she has with her sister “is very fun and a lot of complicity. I love clowning around and getting on her nerves. Now the almost 9 years of difference that separate us is no longer noticeable.” And he admires her “her independence from her, because I will die if they leave me alone.” Carmen, for her part, admires Shailita, as she calls her, “that she has been able to settle in as many places as she has lived and how close she is to her husband, because I have never seen them argue.”
Shaila and the Mexican Dorio Ferreira got married 15 years ago. They live with Aitana, 19 years old, born from his previous marriage, but whom Dúrcal always refers to as “my daughter.” “Dorio is my manager, producer, bassist... We are always together, but we have known how to find a balance and of course we argue, but it is almost always over stupid things.”
In November Carmen separated from Luis Guerra, after 11 years of marriage, "although family ties continue, that's why sometimes you can see us together, we are also neighbors in Torrelodones and we share custody of the dogs." She lives alone with her cats "I'm very cat-like." His son Christian, born 26 years ago from his relationship with Óscar Lozano, lives with his girlfriend. He studied hotel management in Switzerland and works in a hotel. "My parents forced me to study a career 'just in case' and I studied Advertising in Boston, although I never practiced, and I have done the same with my son, so that he has job stability, because the artist job is very unstable."
Carmen began as a child singer with her brother Antonio, who achieved notable success in the early eighties with Sopa de amor, but after that adventure their parents forced them to continue their studies. She debuted as an actress in the series When you leave class, alongside Elsa Pataky, Alejo Sauras, Rodolfo Sancho and Leticia Dolera, among others. She not only achieved great popularity but was also a great learner.
Since then, he has developed his career mainly in the theater and is now preparing two projects for next year. In addition, she has resumed singing classes "just in case" they offer her a musical or compete in Tu cara me suena, where she Shaila served as a jury in the fourth season. “It would be a challenge because it would be outside my comfort zone.” She has also been tested for Masterchef celebrity, although she hopes that she will be selected for future editions, because she "is not afraid of working and I am also a cook."
